If you want to do an e-consultation, that's great. My only advice to you, if you do an e-consultation, is to make sure that the input of the people you contact gets used in any document you create.
The British did a big e-consultation about how to make government better. Hundreds and hundreds of submissions were made. Then the government turned around and said, “Yes, we're doing all of them already”. I'm not sure that this answer satisfied a lot of people. So now everybody says that it's hard for people to get mobilized by these types of issues in government. I say I am not surprised. If you don't do any of the things they want, why should they take the time and energy? The most important thing in any kind of consultation, whether it's in person or online, is to make sure you really engage and respect.
